Don We Now Our Gay Death Panels
I think I’ve already told you guys that east Texas is the 3P Capital of Texas: Pines, Poverty, and Pentecostals.
But this time it’s the East Texas Southern Baptists. Specifically, Green Acres Baptist Church in Tyler, Texas.
The pastor of that church, David Dykes, has taken his sweet patootie to Uganda to fight United States foreign policy of denying aid to that country until they stop their Kill The Gays campaign.
Rev. Dyke
I’m extremely upset that our state department is putting pressure on Uganda to recognize homosexual behavior. And I’m praying that Uganda will say, “We don’t want your money, America. It is blood money. It is sin money.” I hope that you will continue to stand strong on what the Bible defines as the definition of a real marriage.
In fact, Pastor Dykes (and yes, I get the irony) has promised that American churches will raise the money to replace the US aid money. That’s fabulous, you know. He does not say, however, if he will raise the money to pay for the gay funerals.
… In America, Christians are going to put as much pressure as we can on our government not to cut the aid to Uganda over this issue. But if they do decide to do that, we’ll let our displeasure be known, but we’ll try to step in as the Church in America to try to make up sending resources over here, especially to the churches. We hope to stand alongside the believers of Uganda during this time of crisis.
What crisis? They aren’t killing gays fast enough?
Thanks to D. Karen for the heads up.
Now comes the fun part. Do you know what church Louie Gohmert belongs to and where he serves as a deacon? Come on, guess.
“In fact, Pastor Dykes (and yes, I get the irony)” … still laughing. FWIW it seems that the Westboro scum is planning another one of their “hate-ins”.
Anonymous Targets Westboro
The hacktivists at Anonymous are punishing Westboro Baptist Church for their plan to picket Connecticut’s Sandy Hook Elementary. Via CNET:
1As part of a campaign dubbed #OpWestBoro, KY Anonymous said yesterday it posted the personal information belonging to members of the extremist organization, which is best known for conducting protests designed to disrupt the funerals of members of the military killed in action. The data dump included the names, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, and physical addresses of dozens of alleged members of the religious organization. The group did not indicate where or how it acquired the data.
Do these Shiite Baptists ever read the New Testament?
2For some interesting references to Uganda and the killing of Gays read The Family for names of confressvarmits who have used tax money to go to uganda and other places to spread their religious hate agenda. the book C Street is the followup to The Family.
3Used to be, when you wanted to off someone, you called them a witch, dunked ’em in a mill pond, then dried them off over a nice crackling fire of pine boughs. Permanently.
Now you label ’em a homo and ship ’em to Uganda.
4Can we dunk & dry Dykes?
5This dude is going to have problems in Africa. I hope the lions have a lot of Pepto Bismol.
6If Ugandans were smart they’d stop listening to ignorant, old white “christian” men. How is it that these people can raise money to kill people but not to help people.
7I’m sure the Rev. Dyke gets his information about God and the gays from Leviticus, so here’s a handy list of 76 other things that he needs to keep track of in his daily life, also banned by Leviticus:

Whew, Juanita, I am so glad to know Screwy Louie is NOT catholic! I had been told he was a card-carrying member of the Archdiocese of Tyler! So happy to know they were wrong! Of course, there are still Speaker Boehner and Lyin Ryan to make one hang one’s head in shame, but we DO have Ms Nancy Pelosi and Mr John Kerry and some other notables that seem to act as they should! My very sincere condolences to all you Baptists out there in Salon land!
9And meanwhile, let’s keep the pressure up on our elected officials to try to keep the Ugandans from slaughtering people they suspect are different, its a shocking policy!
10Can someone get him on the no fly list real quick like? Before he can come back.
11Chairman Meow asked:
“Do these Shiite Baptists ever read the New Testament?”
Only the King James Version and only the parts they like.
12So gay is bad but murder OK?
I am just curious about how much money these so-called christians (small c) have raised for the Sandy victims or the familes in Connecticut. I am guessing zero, but they can get downright excited about murdering gays.

If that was directed towards me, it would scare me to death.
14So, Does Louie get his craziness from his pastor, or is it contagious in that “church”?
15It would be nice if the World Court could charge him with crimes against humanity for his efforts to kill and repress innocent people. It would be nicer still if Louie went on trial with him.
16Let me get this straight. America’s aid money is “blood money” if we give it to them only if they DON’T kill people for being gay? (which is like killing people for having brown eyes)
Dyke should send his brain out to be cleaned. I think it was replaced backwards last time.
17God help us! There just has to be something in the water there !!!
18Y’all, there is also great irony in the fourth item (yes, fourth, not first) in the GABC mission statement: Express God’s Love. Wait, what? Express God’s LOVE??? By hating people who made such poor choices in their parents and their genetic encoding?? Yeah. THOSE people. So, God’s love is conditional? God really doesn’t love everyone after all? No wonder church membership nationwide is declining. Well, except for the Six-Flags-Over-Jesus, religion-as-entertainment type churches.
19Whatever happened to the good old days, when right-wingers complained about foreign aid?
20Scripture states that Christ “loved” the disciple John. John sat next to him at the Last Supper. I’d like Dyke to give me a answer as to whether Jesus was gay, bisexual or straight.
21and yet, westboro baptist is called a “hate-mongering quasi-religious” cult. I wonder what that makes this evangelical congregation? Killers would be my preferred nomenclature.
22june bug: Thanks for pointing out (Yet Again) the role played by the quasi-christian, Hitler Lovin’ Family continues to play in our national drama.
talk about varmints!
23So Green Acres is going to raise $246M per year to send to Uganda to offset the loss of U.S. aid? Good luck with that! Uganda will be lucky to get twenty-five bucks!
24I cant’ take it anymore. first rick perry. Goofy Gohmert and westboro and now this idiot. Worst advice my momma ever gave me was ” If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.” 55 years I have been a very nice lady. it stops today. I will speak up. Often. And loudly. To anybody and everybody. Thank you Juanita.
25Y’all, I have the bad fortune to live in this town with Congressman Louie and his pastor Dr. Dykes. It’s hard to live here. Anyone who can think is constantly having to defend themselves against waves of flag-waving, Bible-thumping, Constitution-misinterpreting fools. A lot of our voters don’t even try any more, and those of us who do get whipped 3 to 1 in most every election, sometimes worse. If you want to do a good deed, support the counties like mine, no matter where you live, by standing up and hollering, “Bullcrap!” when you hear it. The more of us who do that, the better.
26Dykes is so offensive I cannot think of anything horrible enough to say about him.
